NOTES

Title from title frames

After years of incarceration, a quiet, lonely woman, Francine (Academy Award winner Melissa Leo), is released to start a new life in a small, rural town. But despite opportunities for warmth and connection, her years of “rehabilitation” have left her with little ability to create relationships and happiness, finding her only solace in her connections with animals. What happens when a second chance isn’t enough?. Official Selection at the Berlin International Film Festival. Nominated for the Emerging Visions Award at the SXSW Film Festival.. "Melissa Leo ... [gives] a brave performance, an act of empathy with a sad woman." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. "Leo provides a seasoned, lived-in naturalism that is as rarely displayed on screen as it is potent." - Will McCord, Paste Magazine
